Okay, first of all, OUR LONG INTERNATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER:
JKR/WB vs RDR Books Trial: RDR Books Withdraws Appeal. Second of all: Holy shit,
Edward Dollen really does look like David Boreanaz. Third: For people wondering about what the hell's up with
the Bella doll,
this is the outfit she's wearing. You only see the peasant blouse in the hotel scene because she's got
the jacket zipped up after that. And the doll's actually wearing the brown jacket from another scene (
this one. Look at the cuffs). Look, I don't actually care what she's wearing--
padawansguide and I just
geek out over costumes like whoa on
her site sometimes, so I'm used to scrutinizing tiny details like a nutbar. People were just asking, is all.
Fourth: An email conversation I just had with my mother, who is apparently way more invested in
the situation than I had dreamed:
Twilight doll pictures have come in. Stand back, they're creepy (see attachments).
He looks more like the person playing the part than she does.
Yeah... Bella has a severe lack of bitchface. And their hair colors are switched for reasons I cannot fathom. I'm sure Robert Tonner will be getting hundreds of angry emails to that effect by the end of the day. You think I'm kidding, and I'm not even.
You’re probably right about the calls - I even wanted to make one about Bella. Bella doesn’t even look like the actress. I’m sure they will be a big disappointment to those fans who live and breathe Twilight………………..
So... there's that.
And for folks a little lost with the whole Secret Life of Dolls thing, there's
some background and a chronological list of entries over here (after a little housekeeping to get the list up to date).
